Is anyone using the new Moose skid plate? I would love to see some better pics of it. It seems to have very good coverage for the suspension knuckle in the rear and looks reasonably strong overall. Great price too.

Their service sucks! They don't actually stock the parts, so you'll end up waiting on them to get the parts and, then, they ship to you. I just go through my dealer. I do like their diagrams, though.

That's good to know.

The SW Motech skid plate is riveted together. There have been several that have failed, although they were seriously abused.
The Altrider skid plate is a fully welded assembly and offers excellent protection. Its somewhat pricey but well worth protecting your investment.

Nice bike! I was at our local dealership today as they rolled that exact bike into the showroom. Like you said- very nice fit and finish. My all time favorite bike is my FJR and I'm interested to hear more comparisons as you get to ride it.
Congratulations.

Are you going to have to do anything to the Triumph re: setting it up for you?

I'm not doing anything at this point. No need for taller shield. It's perfect as is. Not planning in top box, I personally think they r ugly. Ill provide more comparison as I ride. 30 mins today and I'm really sold on this bike. No looking back at the FJR.
